Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

Can you believe it is Secret Recipe Club time again? The time is just flying by and I am so sad that I have not had a post in over a month. I am only five weeks away from a full summer off which means lots of cooking and lots of fun with my family. I can hardly wait!

OK, on to my blog assignment for this month. I was so lucky to get Prevention RD a blog about healthy eating that tastes wonderful and is EASY to do. This is my kind of blog I tell ya! Nicole, who writes Prevention RD, is a registered dietitian so she knows what she is talking about in the healthy food department. She also knows how to make healthy food taste delicious! I had such a hard time choosing a recipe to feature from her blog so I had to make three or four before I finally settled on her Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken.

Most of you know that I L.O.V.E my slow cooker. It is such a life saver at times and makes my hectic life much easier. This recipe is wonderful. I cut the red pepper flakes down to a 1/4 tsp just so the final product wasn't spicy for my kids, but other than that I made it as she lists it below. The chicken is tender and moist, full of sweet tangy sauce, and works perfectly with rice that absorbs all that delicious flavor. We paired ours with the stir fried broccoli that I featured last month for Secret Recipe Club and it was wonderful. Make it this week for a delicous and easy dinner meal. ENJOY!

i love my slow cooker! I can't get enough of it. However, I have struggled with chicken recipes because I find that the slow cooker completely dries out white meat. Did your meat not dry out? I'm so curious. Coming over from the SRC, I'm also in Group D!

About the Quest...

Hello! My name is Jenn, and this is where I document my adventures of cooking on a budget. I clip coupons, watch sales, and try to make as much food from scratch that I can. I try to keep a balance when it comes to food. Not all the recipes on this blog are healthy, but I believe if everything is done in moderation, with good doses of fresh fruit and veggies, along with food made with minimally processed ingredients, my family can splurge once in a while.
